We present a wormhole solution in four dimensions. It is a solution of an Einstein Maxwell theory plus charged massless fermions. The fermions give rise to a negative Casimir-like energy, which makes the wormhole possible. It is a long wormhole that does not lead to causality violations in the ambient space. It can be viewed as a pair of entangled near extremal black holes with an interaction term generated by the exchange of fermion fields. The solution can be embedded in the Standard Model by making its overall size small compared to the electroweak scale.

  1. Replica Wormholes and the Entropy of Hawking Radiation

    hep-th 2019-11 accept novelty 8.0

    Replica wormholes in the gravitational path integral yield the island rule for the fine-grained entropy of Hawking radiation, ensuring it follows the unitary Page curve in two-dimensional dilaton gravity.

  2. Tuning quantum magic of pure quantum chaotic states with a gravity dual

    hep-th 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    In the large-N limit of the SYK model, quantum magic of pure KM states dual to black holes is linear in N with a temperature-tunable slope between 0 and 1/2.

  3. How traversable is a traversable wormhole?

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Low-frequency scattering calculations show scalar probes through the MMP wormhole are mostly reflected or trapped at early times with late leakage to half the black-hole cross-section, while charged massless fermions ...

  4. Emergent States and Algebras from the Double-Scaling limit of Pure States in SYK

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    In double-scaled SYK, state-adapted dressed chord operators change the emergent algebra from Type II1 to Type I∞ and restore purity of KM states, unlike generic operators.

  5. Higher-Derivative Corrections to Reissner--Nordstr\"om Black Holes from Worldline QFT

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    RF² corrections to RN black holes are computed via worldline QFT, verified exactly in G, and shown to require the weak gravity conjecture for non-negative extremal temperature.

    An analytical traversable wormhole solution with positive cosmological constant is obtained via gravitational decoupling on the Ellis-Bronnikov metric, featuring a cosmological throat, verified flare-out conditions, n...

  7. The Fate of Nucleated Black Holes in de Sitter Quantum Gravity

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Nucleated maximal-mass black holes in de Sitter space undergo thermal Hawking evaporation in smooth quantum states and return fully to the empty de Sitter vacuum.

  8. The Fate of Nucleated Black Holes in de Sitter Quantum Gravity

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Nucleated black holes in de Sitter space evaporate via standard Hawking radiation back to the empty vacuum, rendering nucleation a temporary fluctuation.

  9. Testing the nature of dark compact objects: a status report

    gr-qc 2019-04 accept novelty 2.0

    Current and future observations can test whether dark compact objects are Kerr black holes or exotic alternatives, with null results strengthening the black hole paradigm.
